Hi everyone! Petrik from Novel Notions here!

Today we’re here to bring you a cover reveal of Pawn’s Gambit! This is the second standalone novel in the Mortal Techniques series by Rob J. Hayes, and for those of you who don’t know, I am a HUGE fan of the previous standalone book in the series: Never Die. Once you have seen the beautiful cover art, you can read my spoiler-free review of Never Die if you haven’t read the book! Without further ado, here is the cover of Pawn’s Gambit!

Cover art: Felix Ortiz

Cover design: STK.Kreations

Even Pawns can checkmate Kings.

Once a century, the gods hold a contest to determine who will rule from the Jade Throne. Each god chooses a mortal champion, and the fate of heaven and earth depends on the winner.

Once a world-renowned strategist and general, Yuu made one wrong move, and the Steel Prince paid for her mistake with his life. Now there’s a price on her head large enough that every bounty hunter in the empire is after her. But what if there was a way to bring back her dead prince?

On a playing board full of heroes, warriors, assassins, and thieves can Yuu survive long enough to learn the rules, let alone master the game?

Pawn’s Gambit is a new stand alone story set in the award winning Mortal Techniques universe.

Gorgeous isn’t it!? Not only I am a huge fan of the previous book, Felix Ortiz and STK.Kreations are some of our favorite artists. I’m so excited to get to reading this book!

I want to give my special thanks to Rob J. Hayes for allowing Novel Notions the honor to host the cover reveal for Pawn’s Gambit. Personally, as a fan of Never Die, it means a lot to me that me and Novel Notions are given this opportunity. I haven’t read this book yet, but considering how much I adored Never Die, I’m sure I’m going to enjoy reading it!

Thank you everyone for checking out this post!
